Brief Summary of Unit

Welcome to the next unit! This unit is called Exploring the World of Algebra. In this unit we are going to learn about linear equation, slope, properties, some key terms, and how to relate them to real life. In this unit we are going to do a variety of products that will allow you to be very creative and interactive with your peers. We will learn to use many new technologies from making a comic in Comic Life, to using Instructables to teach your very own lesson, and much more! The big ideas of the unit are relating mathematics to real life, and creating cool ways to learn about them. There will be no big tests! A lot of the work will be in groups, done in class. I want you to be creative and have fun, we'll make many applications of the math in this unit. I promise this will not be like a normal math class, technology based learning is here, and it is here to stay!!
